Not bad.

I really like Carrigan as a player but I think he really needs to add more dimensions to his game or he risks being the odd man out as I think our pack isn’t properly balanced. Unless Flegler turns into a real enforcer or Haas ball playing goes another level, which either or both could potentially happen. Otherwise his bland reliable work horse qualities won’t be what we require.

I see a lot of posts about us need to buy in a 9 or 1. I don't disagree that the current 13/17 are struggling.

However, I don't see a great deal of talent on the market that is a realistic buy.

I'm personally excited to see the club have a reset, train the house down in the off season and come back better.

I just pray to all the football gods we or any signings don't get injured right at the back end of the season.

The football gods are clearly NSWRL ... fortunately for everyone they're also morons and they'll kill this version of the game off soon enough.

I don't mind using next year to find out which young forwards to keep and which ones to punt. We aren't a threat next year but we should be battling for the bottom of the 8, not the wooden spoon. 23 is the key as we need to get a 9 unless Paix explodes.
Also next year we'll be seeing if we need a fullback or not with cobbo getting more game time under his belt.. we might get lucky otherwise I think he'd make a good crack at centre. With Reynolds in the 7 that's a key piece to the puzzle solved and with a good 7 leading us around the park the job for paix should be alot easier so we'll see what he's really got.
 
Once we sign Bellamy it will all fall
In to place….you’ll see 😜
Curious that he hasn't re committed to the storm yet,wonder if a year off and the chance to get another one over bennett would be tempting for him.
 
Absolutely love the Reynolds signing but at present, our spine is still really weak for next year. We need to do some deals to get either a NRL level 9 or 1 (preferably both).
Gamble and Kelly for 6 next year is fine, Kelly is a quality half and Gamble is good for a half/lock rotation on bench as well, when he runs at the line he punches well but with exceptional ball handling which is his real strength, at a Pivot position he would be quality for sure IMO the real weak spot in our spine is Fullback, I still think Niu might be a year away from that position which puts him in a big rivalry with Cobbo for that position, I don't think Niu is a capable centre at his size so it's do or die for him there.

I think Farnworth has to take coates spot next year tbh, but only if someone like Brenko Lee can take his centre spot well, Herbie on the wing will give us try's easily the guy is physically elite, he can be our to'o but with extra size and height for high balls.
 
1. Niu
6. Gamble
7. Reynolds
9. Turpin

Better get used to that spine now, because that is what we will be getting. Reynolds will be carrying the whole team on his back as if he's JT.
 
We should be focusing our money and efforts on a 9.

We can make-do with our options at fullback if we can land a quality 9.
 
If we can't significantly improve either our 1 or 9 before 2022, I think we're in for another long year.
 
Rightio then:

1. Cobbo/Niu
2. Farnworth
3. Gagai
4. Lee
5. Oates
6. Staggs
7. Reynolds (c)
8. Haas
9. Paix
10. Carrigan
11. Robati
12. Capewell
13. Hetherington

14. Walters
15. Kennedy/James
16. Flegler/Bullemor
17. Riki/Piakura

I actually wouldn't be surprised to see Gagai end up fullback early to be honest and Cobbo coming in as the season progresses with Gags switching to the centres.
That’s a good list. Now do a list that crazy Kev might put out at the last minute
